Orlando Indoor Skydiving is definitely Fun things to do in Orlando
Although I don’t have any pictures of myself doing this. I took this from another site. I went a few years ago and had a blast. I wanted to take my date and do something different. Went for dinner at Tu Tu Tangos and then off to skydiving indoors. I actually thought it was going to be much easier than it was. I banged around in there against the glass a few times but it doesn’t hurt. Once you get a hang of it you can really start to float and enjoy the experience. One time isn’t enough. I realized once I started getting the hang of it I was finished. ERRR. Well it’s been a few years and I just got a few more tickets and am about to go again this month. I’ll have to give an update and take some pictures this time.
